Republican lawmakers in several central U.S. states are pushing bills
that would crack down on demonstrations, drawing criticism from free
speech campaigners and underlining the polarization over protests in the
era of President Donald Trump.
Bills have been introduced over the past month in states including
North Dakota, Indiana and Iowa that would impose measures such as
harsher penalties for demonstrators who disrupt traffic, and scrapping
punishment for drivers who unintentionally strike protesters blocking
their vehicles.
The push for stricter laws comes as opponents of Trump have vowed to
take to the streets to demonstrate against his policies on issues
ranging from immigration to abortion and climate change. Recall hundreds
of thousands of people took part in women's marches on Jan. 21 in
cities across the country.
We can only pray this never happens in America. It will send a bad signal to the world. No Trump, not this.
